Self-learner and amateur.

I lived without a camera for so many years, but then finally I bought a second hand Nikon D200 about two years ago.
Since then, i am constantly making photos... in my mind, and far too little in reality. One needs time and a free mind (!) to go to the encounter of the other, to be able to stand still or wander around the streets aimlessly...
At least, I do.
As I feel the need to create an intimate relationship with the subject, be it a person, a landscape, an animal...

I worked for a humanitarian organisatiion (Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors without Borders) for nearly 20 years.
Two decades of encounters with amazing people living in extremely difficult circumstance in Tibet, Palestine, Somalia, Sudan, Haiti, ... and so many other places.

Critical comments on my photos are very much welcome and will help me in improving my skills and eye.

Thanks !



ps: this is one of my own favorites: "Mother and Daughter"
